The Swell Season
发布日期 2006年4月1日
出版发行:
Overcoat Recordings
Frames front man Hansard has teamed up with classically trained Czech vocalist and pianist, Irglova to produce this album of affecting songs and compositions. From straight songs to piano instrumentals, "The Swell Season" affords an insight into a whole other side of Glen/The Frames, as well as offering a perfect introduction to this very talented newcomer. The record takes its name from author Josef Skvorecky's book of the same name. Set in Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia, the story centers on one man's love of music and his pursuit of unattainable women as a country comes unglued. Like the book, the record deals with the pains and hopes of those struggling to make sense of their lives.

Katie Herzig
发布日期 2009年2月17日
出版发行:
Marion-Lorraine Records
In 2006, after eight years of fronting the critically acclaimed Colorado-based band, Newcomers Home, and releasing her first solo record, Watch Them Fall, as a side project—singer/songwriter Katie Herzig retreated to the solitude of her bedroom studio. There, she single-handedly recorded and produced Weightless, a tour-de-force of innovative sonics and songwriting whose tracks have been prominently featured on NPR, KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, E.R., Smallville, and, most recently, on two episodes of television’s highest-rated drama, Grey’s Anatomy.
Following the release of Weightless, Herzig left Colorado for Nashville and immediately started to catch the attention of other artists. Her song “Heaven’s My Home” received a 2007 Grammy nomination for best country performance by The Duhks. She was also invited to open shows for The Fray and join PASTE Magazine and American Songwriter Magazine sponsored tours.
Performing Songwriter Magazine wrote, “Katie Herzig possesses gravity-defying powers on her latest release, balancing heavy and mournful lyrics with light pop melodies that bounce and float into the stratosphere.” PASTE Magazine’s Jason Killingsworth said, “Katie Herzig has a whimsical side that I love. Her music doesn’t take itself too seriously, and the lyrics always [have] a sharp emotional edge to them. I’m a huge fan.”
And now, on May 13, 2008, Katie Herzig’s fans can expect her most adventurous and satisfying album yet: Apple Tree.
While Apple Tree is every bit as melodic and emotionally incisive as Herzig’s previous records, it is nonetheless a bold and assertive step forward. According to Herzig, “Weightless was very much a do-it-yourself, homemade project, but the recording of Apple Tree became very collaborative and pushed me to places, performance and production- wise, that I might not have gone on my own.”
Working as her own producer, Herzig teamed up with Nashville multi-instrumentalist and producer Cason Cooley (The Normals, Derek Webb) for five tracks—as well as with two members of The Fray team, producer Aaron Johnson and guitarist David Welsh on the track ‘Hologram.’ Herzig: “The song ‘Hologram’ was actually written partly in response to a conversation I’d had with Aaron, who said he missed how I used to belt when I sang with the band. So it felt appropriate to record that song with him.”
Though Herzig is the sole author of most of Apple Tree, two of the songs (‘I Will Follow’ and ‘I Want To Belong To You’) were co-written with well-known songwriter Kim Richey. “I’ve learned so much writing with Kim,” Herzig says. “Especially about patience. Allowing the songs to take the time they need to develop, rather than rushing to finish them and ultimately settling.”
Patience is also a trademark of producer Cason Cooley’s contribution to Apple Tree. “I’m always in such a hurry to get my ideas recorded,” Herzig admits, “but Cason helped slow me down. He is an explorer with an incredible ear for melodies. He also helped hand-pick many of the musicians we asked to play on the record.” Nashville recording artists Sandra McCracken and Ruby Amanfu also lent their voices to a few songs on the project.
As on Weightless, Herzig again worked side-by-side with Grammy winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, John Prine), who mixed the album, helping to massage two years’ worth of songs and the work of three producers into a cohesive artistic statement.
The result is Apple Tree: a spellbinding, uniquely immersive listening experience that deftly manages to be at once playful and impassioned—challenging and comfortable—intimate and epic.
Which is exactly what listeners have come to expect from Katie Herzig.

马木尔
类型:
世界音乐
发布日期 2009年4月1日
出版发行:
Real World Records
马木尔1970年生于新疆。哈萨克族。自幼学习哈萨克族民歌和冬不拉,后自学吉他、曼陀林、口弦等多种乐器。马木尔从小在新疆奇台县的东风牧场长大,就是游牧的哈萨克家庭,那里是一个辽阔的草原,他的爷爷、父亲以及哥哥都会弹冬不拉,也会做这个乐器,马木尔四五岁的时候就开始弹冬不拉了,在他们的牧场里,有很多唱民歌的阿肯和老艺人,他们的歌就是他们的生活。“小的时候,就是从广播里听老艺人的弹唱,都是传统的民歌,后来有电视就不好了,那些歌不好听了,都是导演的安排,他们把好听的音乐给变掉了。只有老的音乐是最纯的,我尊重我们民族的音乐。”马木尔说。他作为冬不拉高手、吉他高手,已经被看作哈萨克年轻一代的人才。在北疆,哈萨克人的生活中,马木尔是一位家喻户晓的名人,是哈萨克的东不拉英雄。
2002年马木尔来到北京,与他的伙伴组建了IZ乐队,并开始在北京各演出场地表演。IZ乐队立足于哈萨克民间音乐的传统,同时又努力创造着属于自己的音乐语言。他们演奏冬不拉、库布孜等哈萨克传统乐器,同时也使用吉他、箫、笛等来自其他文化背景的乐器,但乐队始终坚持用哈萨克语演唱。IZ乐队的曲目中一部分由古老的哈萨克民歌改编,另一些为自己的创作。创作歌曲常常以寓言、谚语式的歌词表达哲理性的内涵,如“不要见了面就握手寒暄/而实际上什么都不干/不要在大街上只会炫耀自己/要知道你出自毡房/那才是你的根源。2004年,IZ乐队在上海、青岛举行了专场演出,04,05年并应邀赴法国参加了“中国音乐实验室”(CHINA MUSIC LAB TOUR)的巡演活动。哈萨克斯坦总统纳扎尔巴耶夫2004年5月访华时特别在北京约见了马木尔。2004年5月17日的《人民日报》采访了唱新疆民间歌曲的哈萨克族青年马木尔,那天哈萨克斯坦总统访华要亲自接见我们的民族歌手马木尔,马木尔以为是为总统的宴会去唱歌,拒绝了,《人民日报》的记者赶紧又找到他,最后,总统与他亲切交谈,说的是哈萨克的音乐,是一次很好的沟通。
任何录音都无法代替现场演出所能带来的那种震撼力。所有看过IZ或是马尔木现场演出的人,都无法忘怀他们的音乐的魅力。腼腆的马尔木不爱说话,而当他歌唱的时候,和着他的冬不拉,人们总能被他歌声背后深沉的情感所打动。无论是他改编的古老的哈萨克民歌,还是他自己谱写的歌曲,都能让人在喧嚣中沉静下来,他的歌中有无言的悲凉和忧伤,更有金戈铁马的激昂!
能让我们感动的音乐必须是真实自然的,因为真正的音乐没有界限。哈萨克人说:一切皆有生命和死亡。他们唱到:当水结冰的时候它死亡了,春天冰雪融化它的生命,开始流动;大地被白雪覆盖时它死亡了,雪融后的万物复苏使大地重获生命;当天空被乌云遮挡时它死亡了,乌云散去又是亮丽的色彩……
Real World Records是英国著名音乐人Peter Gabriel创立的专注于推广世界音乐的音乐厂牌,先后推出过Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan,Sheila Chandra,Geoffrey Oryema,Youssou N'dour,Tama,央金拉姆等五大洲各国音乐家的作品,即将于五月份发行马木尔专辑EAGLE(雄鹰)。
配合新专辑的发行,REAL WORLD RECORDS将同时安排马木尔欧洲巡演。
